Hi Mark,

Thanks to all who rode with you these last couple of days! I’m sure the fellowship is welcome and special to you.

It looks like the weather was a little cloudy and maybe damp? It looked foggy at the beginning of your ride. I hope you didn’t have too many hills!

I have to agree with people’s previous posts these last few days about missing these videos when your ride is over. I feel like some of them said about having withdrawal. It is a special part of my day to be able to write a short comment to all of you and to encourage, share and pray for everyone.

Keep on pedaling, Mark! You are so close to finishing this mission! Kate must be so proud of you!

God bless you, Kate, THE crew, and everyone close to you!

Blessings and Hugs,
Chrissy

Another glorious day- 77 miles!! So nice of those people to take the time and ride with you. Great fellowship is always welcome You are so kind and humble Mark your passion for the mission to help orphans and widows is so evident!

I pray that you continue to raise awareness and stir the need to help orphans and widows in other people’s heart.

Psalms 128:1
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to Him.

Thanks Mark and team for taking action and being obedient to the call that God has placed on your heart in James 1:27.

Love-

Marilyn

Great job by all. We will continue to pray for Mark, his crew and all of the riders along his journey. My 3 boys and I are so excited for our ride with Mark…we can’t wait. Hopefully we will start in Little Falls NY. So far we have raised $1500 plus $4 per mile ………so we plan to ride for many miles to help other orphans in this world.
see you in a couple of days….Arlene, Damian, Kristof, and Arek

So now you’re in the Finger Lakes area of New York – “God’s Country”. Hope you have a chance to enjoy the orchards and vineyards through the rain ….

It’s great to see that your spirits are so high. God continues to bless you as you ride.

Be safe!

Hey Mark!
I’m glad to you had some company again. Those guys were great! You’re doing a great job. I’ve shown so many people the video from erie, and they all loved how I got to ride right with you. Good luck with the rest of your ride! Thanks again for the amazing experience.

I am so glad to see that you continue to have company on your journey. I am sure time passes much more quickly when you are not out there alone (without human company.) of course you are never out there alone.

I do miss all of the sillyness and antics of your crew, are they getting tired out too?

much love to all of you,
Tamee Shea

Hey Mark:

It was great to see you all having such fun today. The kids and I were very excited for you. You look as though you are going to finish strong. We are so proud of you. More than that, God is so proud of you.

We can’t wait to see you in Florida. You’ll be here in just a few days. I’m hoping we see you in Pinellas Park but if not, we will definitely see you in Jacksonville. Jacksonville is much closer to Daytona.

We are praying for you and the crew!!!!! You guys are terrific.

Much Love,
Annie, Cassidy and Justin Elijah!!!

Mark,

What can I say you are a precious gift from god. Nice day you had again going 77 miles. The area was beautiful and the company you had with you was a blessing. Keep up the great work and keep strong. You will get to the end soon.

Your concert in Hamburg NY was Awesome. I loved it so much that my husband and I bought your bundle of CD’s and book for $30 and also gave $16 to the James Fund. If you want to know which one I was. I was the crazy lady in the purple shirt who screamed when you was about to single Broken & Beautiful. I love you so much and your talents. God made a great person when he made you. Kate is one lucky lady to have found you.

You are so inspiring and make life more real. Seeing you makes the radio seem dull. Your music LIVE is so much better and I am so glad to have gotten to spend a special night in your presence.

I’ll keep praying day and night for you and your crew.

Love Always,
A Supporter and Fan,
Linda & Matt Moerchen

Hey Mark,
I hope everything went well for you today. You are such an amazing guy. You really inspire me and I couldn’t have ridden that far without you. I was wondering if there was a way I could get ahold of Eric or someone because I have some pictures that I want to send and I was wondering if I could get some of those other clips that weren’t on the video.

Thanks and good luck on the rest of your ride.

Good riding and good fellowship! PTL for the fellowship you can have along the road.
You are probably used to it now, Mark, but watch out for those semi-trucks as they go by–it looks like they could just suck you right into their draft stream there!
We are praying for you and the crew! Gambare! (“Gam-bah-reh” which means “go for it!” “keep pressin’ on!” in Japanese. It is often used in encouraging sports teams and players.) You are getting closer to the Atlantic. May you have the strength to ride, and perform, and may your concerts continue to be a blessing to those who are fortunate enough to be able to attend. We would love to have you come to Japan!

Hi Mark and Crew!

You are a beautiful example of service, sacrifice, and giving of yourselves for others. It is so inspiring to see such an example of Christ’s love! You truly are a reflection of Him to those around you! I pray that God keeps you all safe and gives you continued strength! I’ll be seeing you in Pinellas Park on July 3rd! Praying you’ll get the chance to meet the Masterson family! : ) Take care and God bless!

Hi Mark,

Watching the video and remising the roads we traveled and realizing this was something very special to be a part of. What a blessing it was for Jared and myself to ride with you and it will be a great memory to hold onto. It’s inspiring to listen to you talk about the James Fund with such enthusiasm and a commitment of making a difference in the orphans kids life’s.

To the support team – Christian, Clay and Eric you guys are amazing and I’m glad to have gotten to know you!

Your in our prayers,
Leigh

Mark,
It is so awesome to see so many people coming out to ride with you! What an encouragement that must be to you and your team! It’s always great to have some one (or a few people) to fellowship with and I thank everyone who has been and will be riding with you. God bless everyone! You, your team and everyone are in our continued thoughts and prayers! KOKD! (Keep On Kicking the Devil!)
Love you all!
